Alignment within the NGC 3109 association including Leo P. The members of the association plus Leo P are plotted as large empty squares; other galaxies from the M12 catalog (more distant than 300 kpc from the MW or M31) are plotted as small filled squares in the left panels. Open circles mark the position of Leo P with different assumed values for its distance, from 1300 kpc to 2000 kpc, with steps of 100 kpc. Thick lines are linear fits to the data in each plane. The thin dotted lines enclose the ± 100 kpc range about the best-fit lines (left panels) or the ± 20 km s^-1 range about the best-fit line (right panel). The arrow indicates the direction towards the MW.
